SMALL EXCITEMENTS

The sun is out. The leaves on the trees are almost all green
now. George’s bird feeder has given one
local flock of starlings a good winter feed.
We can tell as the males are almost all crowned with reds.

Today has been set aside
for two doctor visits. I’ve devolved
into one of those fat old ladies who schedule more than one doctor visit in a
day. OT with the therapist who did my
other thumb at ten, and the ENT man at 1315…an odd time. I’m looking forward to letting this go over
the weekend and mindlessly living through a wonderful weekend. Later next week, I can totter off to another
appointment with my greying head held high.

I’ve tried out Windows 10
on the new laptop and am only a little confused. That’s good.
Even better, the suitcases are up.
One for the pillows, and a hanging bag for the good clothes we’ll wear
to the dinner where we usher instead of attend….we hate paying lots of money
for mediocre foods but we like hearing the speaker. And lastly, our two rolling bags for
everything else. I’m rather fond of
mine. Sentimentally attached. All sorts of wonderful memories seep out from
its black canvas sides.

Himself:Has taken a vacation day to go with
me. I am very grateful. He will be working only two days this week. Imagine.

Herself:Better every day but for the cough.

Reading:The first of the Cadells, “Mrs. Tim.”
It’s set just before the second World War, and most of the characters are still
discussing the first war.

Missed this posting... we received a set of matching luggage as a going away present from our 'almost adopted' son back in 2004 (we were going to the U.K.) and we're still using them! We like to just take one large case with a gusset and share it. It works...especially if we're not gone more than a few days.
